    Kevin James fasted for 41 days to meet his target weight....and he did it!! Kevin James is also a skilled MMA fighter...You know us big boys love to eat..but sometimes we need to fast to be at our best.. Do it naturally....You've got a tun of muscle. ..You don't need Ozempic!
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.

    Ozempic is a dangerous glp1 drug that alters what your body is trying to do. Folks think that weight loss is a good thing no matter what, but they do not understand how these drugs work. Glp1 is something in your body that is only released when you eat food, it slows digestion down and manages glucose and insulin. When your stomach is empty, you do not want glp1 doing this. So even when you do not eat anything, your insulin is made, and high levels of insulin can cause all sorts of problems, just look at the side effects of Ozempic.

    Glp1 should respond only when food is being processed in your body, but when taken externally it is constantly present and telling your body not to eat anymore. That is what causes weight loss.

    This is not fixing the problem of our bad eating habits, instead it lets people think that they can keep eating the foods they enjoy instead of getting healthy. So now they are still eating the wrong things and missing out on important nutrients.

    A friend just got prescribed Ozempic. It’s his last option short of stitching his cakehole
    His ideal weight 150, actual weight 360
    I heard of the Ozempic neck but not the other side effects, could be lethal!
    I guess prescribing amphetamines for weight loss is no longer kosher

    I think it also makes you lose muscle also. Kinda like a statin cholesterol pills. Watched a family member completely go from normal to frail and small on a statin. Was pretty much the end. Ozempic is looking like the same. People get to caught up on the number on the scale. Muscle loss will be more weight loss. If you lose muscle it’s pretty much the end for you.

    I run 25+ miles a week and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Going on Mounjaro was the only way to get my glucose levels to a normal level. I’m taking the lowest dosage and it lowered my A1C level by 2.5 percent.
    I haven’t lost any muscle mass because I didn’t ramp up to the max dosage and sit on my butt all day long eating snacks. I haven’t had any of the side affects that people claim to have but I did change to a healthier diet.
    And yes in another post I said I’ve lost 70lbs in the last year but most of that was in the 9 months before I started taking Mounjaro.
